I think the EU should as well.It seems tech here is garbage that is only here to make $$$$ of you not provide real value.
#enshittification comes to mind.

https://www.techpolicy.press/almost-two-thirds-of-europeans-back-replacing-us-tech-poll-finds/ #NextcloudIm curious what fraction of Americans would like to dump Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple and Amazon.
Also are the answers different if you say american tech vs listing specific US tech companies?

I've already done so, but I'm a tiny, tiny minority. As far as I can tell, most Americans don't even know that there are alternatives, and even if they do they are so addicted to "convenience" that they can't be bothered to switch. It's kind of insane.

I'd agree having the ability to move off tech on your own is pretty rare.
I do think the reputations of the different companies aren't the same. I think Microsoft and Facebook are widely despised, but Apple is moderately liked.
I suspect part of the political support for banning teens from social media is due to adults negative feelings about Facebook's various "social" media software.

And how many of these Two-Thirds will replace e.g. Microsoft Windows with Linux in the next two months?
Wishful thinking meets laziness.@_RyekDarkener_ @Karlitschek I used to try to convince people they're wasting their time with windows and that Linux is so much better and easy to use but after wasting so much time I came to the conclusion that bees don't waste valuable time explaining to flies why honey is better than shit.

Is nextcloud actively engaging with governments to try and promote what you do? If so is there anything public on that that I can read? -

@Karlitschek I just hope against hope the conversation manages "open source and interop over monopolistic hegemony" and doesnt drift into "non-american momopolistic hegemony over american monopolistic hegemony"
@Karlitschek If you want to feel a bit calmer about this, then look inte history of Philips. They researched the CD, and then abandoned it for their established ”thriving” cassette business.
European companies are in no way made of higher moral finers than US ones, but fortunately for European citizens they’re not competent enough to successfully maintain technical monopolies.
